RML 390 F is a half-rack from Rogue that does not need to be bolted to the ground. This makes it a very likely candidate from Rogue to have a very high sales volume. The small footprint and reasonable price further underpin this. Compared to the
RM8 it is affordable so popularity is more likely to directly transfer to sales.

490C. With this rack, you add a half rack in the back to create a bigger station. This will provide space for
plate storage or another athlete to train at the same time.

490C. If you do not care for colour and black makes you happy, go with this option instead to go under $1000 budget.
The RM3 is an option for anyone who knows where they will store their
plates but wants to enter the Monster instead of the Momster lite portfolio. The
RM3 is a half rack out of the MOnster series which gives you access to more upgrade paths than with the Monster lite series.
